[00:01.63]One Glass Of Milk 一杯牛奶的溫暖 [00:07.97]One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school [00:13.23]by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime left. [00:19.14]He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house. [00:23.95]However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. [00:28.76]Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. [00:33.03]She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. [00:37.52]He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” [00:42.66]“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. [00:45.61]“Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” [00:49.88]He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” [00:54.14]As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, [00:58.96]but it also increased his faith in the human race. [01:02.79]He was about to give up and quit before this point. [01:06.30]Years later the young woman became critically ill. [01:09.68]The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, [01:14.49]where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. [01:18.54]Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous was called in for the consultation. [01:23.47]When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. [01:29.04]Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room. [01:33.86]Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. [01:37.80]He recognized her at once. [01:40.35]He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. [01:45.28]From that day on, he gave special attention to her case. [01:49.44]After a long struggle, the battle was won. [01:52.94]Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. [01:58.52]He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. [02:01.80]The bill was sent to her room. [02:04.32]She was afraid to open it because she was positive [02:07.68]that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. [02:10.01]Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. [02:14.49]She read these words “Paid in full with a glass of milk—Dr. Howard Kelly”. [02:20.40]Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently: [02:24.89]Thank You, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands.”
